So true, how many times has anyone just changed the top heads only to complain about how flat the drum sounds after a short while.
Not me....
I listen carefully before changing out the batters and that's where I hear the important differences. No difference with the bottoms to my ear before or after. Several player to player variables in the mix as we so well covered to say will ALL experience the same thing and with how resos will or won't perform over a longer period of time for all of us.
Have to use your own ears, experience, tuning methods and individual touch on the instrument on that subject. Speaking of which with the exception of the snare side which recieves the high tension my bottom resos are just snug enough to produce a nice clear loose but non-frapping pitch.... not very tight folks. Not much stress on these heads with this way and method of tuning. I don't crank or choke the snares really hard either against the snare side head as already covered....again longer shelf life.
As the old saying goes "your individual mileage may vary".
Spent you money wisely based on your own experience........
